Spacemacs powerline separator change not working

I am trying to customize the powerline separator style for Spacemacs. I added the following code to my .spacemacs file, as section 11.1.5.5 of the docs say to do.

(setq powerline-default-separator 'bar)

However, nothing is changing in my UI. I tried reloading via SPC f e R and restarting Spacemacs. Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • If you're using the stable release (master branch), then you also need to add a call to (spaceline-compile) at the end of dotspacemacs/user-config.

    This is fixed in the develop branch (Spacemacs calls (spaceline-compile) at the end of the loading process), so the fix should be included in the next major version (current version is 0.105.20).
